#1 At one point in the 1980s my boss at the time, who had grown up with the Martin Luther King, Jr. kids in Atlanta, mentioned such "facts" matter-of-factly in conversation. So this nonsense has been taught for a long time. But the teachng also conflates Egyptians with sub-Saharan Bantu -- hence the "Afroasiatic" terminology.

#2 Lefkowitz in Cambridge, on C-SPAN in 1996, back when such an event didn't necessarily provoke a disruptive shitshow. I probably watched this at the time, not that I remember it, possibly within hours of ogling Kellyanne Fitzpatrick doing morning viewer call-ins or whatever.

#7 The last bit in the quoted part of the article uses Afroasiatic, presumably as a way for black historians to piggy-back on Egyptian and Phoenician? successes.

#8 Strange. Whatever happened to all the African writings of the era? Or the libraries, cities, infrastructure, roads, etc.. Did the white man burn them all down?

As far as Egyptians are concerned, they are as white as Norwegians. Arabs and Iranians, ditto.
